Ultimate Rockets » Different path, but similar stories for Lin and Parsons
Obligatory @jlin7 couch rankings: 1) His brother's 2) @chandlerparsons 3) Landry Fields.

In a funny twist, Machado could very well end up being "Lin's rookie."
DeleteEvery rookie has to be the lackey/servant of a veteran player for a little while. Royce White, for example, is Parson's rookie. That includes carrying his gym bag, running errands, and jokey stuff like wearing little girl backpacks. It's a tradition meant to humble new players...especially those with egos.
Lucky for Machado, I can't see Jeremy making him do anything remotely annoying or embarrassing. If I recall correctly, Jeremy had to make a lot of food runs his rookie year.
Machado can put on Hello Kitty headgear and backpack while running errands :D
DeleteIt will increase his marketability in Asia but destroy any street-cred in NY
Why the heck didn't Lin park himself and his multimillion dollar contract at Motel 6 just for one night?
ReplyDeleteJust sayin . . .
Probably wants to avoid media hounding him. And I think he wants to move into a house in Parson's neighborhood, so he might as well see what it's like.
DeleteI really think he and Parsons are going to have great chemistry on and off the court. There's a reason he was so excited to have Lin on the team - alley oops and easy drives and wide-open 3s all season long. He probably watched Fields and thought, "Man, I can do that even better."
But make no mistake: Parsons is definitely a party boy and ladies' man. You could see Jeremy hittin' up clubs, parties and events surrounded by girls and drinks...which might upset some of his fans.
@ KHuang
DeleteThat's why some people are saying it's a publicity stunt.
[JLin's prolly seeing this as a chance to bond.]
@ zxcvb
Parsons might loosen him up a little, not necessarily bad.
I really wish JLin learns to hold his liquor though. The media will be on the watch, knowing Parsons' rep. & the baby-mama wannabes will be too.
... or it will be chandler parsons who will be tamed , courtesy of JLin... hehehe
DeleteIt's a positive sign that their team chemistry is strong enough to share couches. I'm just concerned Parsons might set up some sexy ladies on that couch LOL (-> cue Psy's Gangnam song)
Delete@ Psalm234 - LOL. heyyyyy sexy lady...
DeleteWo-o wo-o woo woo :)
DeleteAs long as Lin is training hard, Heck he could sleep on every couch in HOUSTON.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there are videos of the pre-training camp held recently?
Lin'S idea?

JLin finishes with his left.
DeleteGet back to me with a poll when JLin is sleeping on Kim Kardashian's "couch"! ;-)

ReplyDeleteThat Dwyer kid is a hack who started out at clutchfags and somehow conned his way into a job at Yahoo! sports. He is a horrible writer with a stick up his ass, trust me.
